  • @UncleVRoy For those without internet access we burn the videos onto a dvd player. They then put it in their tv and push play.

    @Aarpmdfabs: Our school knows what we are doing and support it. In fact our principal's daughter went through our program.

    For ADHD kids: They have been successful in this class. They have actually shown increased attention and test scores.

    For lazy students: This is not the magic bullet to solve all of the worlds educational woes.

  • @gsruler: That is so cool that you did well on your AP test. Congrats--you were the one doing the learning. Great work

    @laneebird: cool!

    @goupanddown: LOL

  • @Simpl1c1ty: You are correct--if the teacher just wants to put up his feet and do nothing, this could happen. It is our biggest fear.

    @katiramom: We understand some don't believe in HW. There is still gr8 value in having the video's recorded even if the teacher doesn't give HW.

    @termi892: We have students who prefer the book--we are OK with that. What we care about is--are they learning.

  • Some of us were flipping classrooms 12 years ago, we just didn't call it this. It is presumptious of you to claim you were the "first to flip your clases".

  • This is great work Aaron and co! I am trying to do this with my professional training courses, which would make it a lot easier to deal with mixed ability trainees - they could do as little as much as they need to before the course, then the course just becomes a workshop for discussion and practice.

    My main question is, how are you using a graphics tablet hooked up to Camtasia?

    I very much look forward to hearing from you!

  • as a struggling chemistry student who has a talking-head type of teacher, and as a lover of student-empowering education in general, I LOVE this idea!

  • @br10pb Sal stumbled upon this idea and has produced a lot of content that can be used for this, but Sal isn't by any means an expert in the fields he teaches. Sal is the man, but Sal is making things popular and laying groundwork.

  • @misook87 Only that's not the case. The after school stuff is watching videos online, getting the lecture that used to be in the class. The work, what used to be homework, is in the classroom where they can get help from their teacher.

  • All I was thinking while watching this is, "Shit. More work after school".

  • ليتكم تشوفون اللي يدرسني لاب في البترول ...! اه يايمه بس !

  • piece of shit

  • I think Sal Khan came up with this idea. Sal is the man

  • i learn programming in a course with the save idea you sit infront a computer with headphones and listen to a lecature and there is a teacher in the class if you got a problem or need somthing more on the subject.
